12. Death First to Vultures and Scavengers

WE'RE BACK!!! And we're making up for our absence by bringing you sexy duels and sexy bones! Canaan House is plunged into chaos in Chapters 23-24, as the houses start fighting for possession of the keys. Camilla gets the chance to show off her duelling skills to a (mostly) unsuspecting audience and we can't possibly scream enough about it. Then it's time for another fun quiz, the first half of a two-part discussion about the horrible saints of Joy and Patience, and a very special bone of the week.

(Aside from the introduction, this episode was recorded on June 16, 2022.)

* SPOILER ALERT * We reference events from GTN and HTN in this podcast, as it’s intended for readers who’ve already finished both books.
